3. Insert the two 7/16 bracket bolts provided, thru two of the steering box mounting holes in the
frame that are farthest apart (bolt heads to the outside of the frame).
4. Thread the bolts into the bracket and hand-tighten them. Fasten the column u-joint on to the
upper steering shaft (the upper shaft is the shaft that has a groove on the double D end).
5. Slide the upper shaft into the support bearing and attach the middle joint to it. Be sure the u-joint
is positioned at least 45 degrees out of phase.
6. Attach the top U-joint to the column. Attach the splined side of the lower shaft in the middle u-
joint, but don’t tighten, since this will need to be trimmed.
7. Attach the rack and pinion u-joint on the steering gear, and determine how much will need to be
trimmed from the lower shaft.
8. Remove the shaft and trim to size. You will also need to put a groove in the shaft, like the one on
top steering shaft. You can do this with either a grinder or a file.
9. Reassemble the lower shaft, again making sure the U-joint are at least 45 degrees out of phase.
Now that your shaft is the right length, turn it to make sure it is smooth. You may have to thread
the support either in or out if you feel a bump or bind.
10. Once you feel your shaft is smooth tighten all fasteners. If this is a manual kit the lower U-joint
that goes on the pinion should be tightened to 40 ft. pounds.
